OEM Carrier Discharge Gas Thermostat HN68GA295 for Model 06EW044140

This OEM discharge gas thermostat (part number HN68GA295) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier 06EW044140 commercial scroll compressor unit. Mounted directly on the discharge line or compressor dome, the thermostat continuously monitors discharge gas temperatures and triggers a safety cutout when temperatures exceed the factory-set threshold. When it fails or trips, the compressor will lock out as a protective measure — preventing catastrophic overheating damage to the scroll elements, motor windings, and refrigerant circuit. Common symptoms of a failed discharge gas thermostat include nuisance compressor lockouts, failure to restart after a high-temp trip, or — in the case of an open-circuit failure — a unit that refuses to energize the compressor at all.

• Specs: OEM part number HN68GA295 | Factory-calibrated trip point | Designed for Carrier 06EW-series commercial scroll compressors | Matches original mounting configuration and wiring terminals
• OEM vs Generic: The OEM thermostat is factory-calibrated to the exact trip point required by Carrier's compressor protection logic. Aftermarket substitutes often carry wider trip-point tolerances, risking either nuisance lockouts or — more dangerously — delayed cutout that allows compressor damage before shutdown.
• Install Difficulty: 3/5 — Requires system pump-down or recovery before accessing the discharge line. Tools needed: refrigerant recovery equipment, manifold gauge set, torque wrench, multimeter for continuity verification post-install. Always de-energize and lock out the unit before replacing.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
